I had 5x7 greeting cards (see label here: fine art greeting card) printed on fine art linen paper stock (22 different images at 25 cards/image mostly of images taken at Shipley..my best hummingbird shots and all of my the ones from my fountain collection, as well as a few flower ones)...Had the cards printed up by my fantastic online printing outfit (whcc.com). I will be selling these cards at Shipley Nature Center and at my local nail place..Also I think at my local florist..I've emailed her to find out..I found out yesterday she just got back from vacation..so maybe will hear from her this weekend...anyway...so I have a big process now of putting each card in plastic sleeve, putting on the price tag, and also I guess I will need to keep track of how many of each card I leave at each location right? I have an urge to take samples to my local Hallmark store too? maybe...when I get a chance I will post a picture of what one of the cards looks like..the image on the front and on the back..I made my own insignia..the image title, an icon of the image, my watermark, then "fine art prints available" and then my web site address under that...looks so nice IMHO!

Sunday

Available as a limited edition, number and signed 5" x 7" fine art note card or print. See my website for more info!

On this image I test-drove Isabelle LaFrance's upcoming new set of actions,textures and overlays..Soulful Black and White. I did not use the b/w action as I still wanted my photo in color..I used the Cinnamon bw texture and the matching bw overlay...so lovely...and then I ran an action which is free and available right now..I used one from the Soulful Dawn til Dusk called "Soulful Glory Hour" and then decided it was a perfect name for this picture...taken within the hour before the sun set.
Also added in Glorious Nature Art "Orange Light" butterfly as an added accent...;-D

Saturday

Plus Florabella Fine Art Texture "Attache Warm" added and a beta copy of my own lacy linen texture..which I am just messing with...I may or may not create some textures and more overlays in the future..but probably not for quite awhile...in the meantime..I will just play around and call them GNA Beta Overlays and Textures II!!

Hi! my blog is currently having a makeover...will eventually set up those links under the banner, etc..! and thanks to Rita at Coffeeshop for doing such a fantastic job for me!! Rita does blog templates, etc..go and have a visit while having your morning coffee! ;-D

Saturday

I love my new banner! I had so much fun adding in the hummingbirds and butterfly from my Glorious Nature Art overlay collection..this is a huge project I am working on presently and hope to make them available to the public sometime soon. Alot of folks have expressed interest in them..along with my bokeh layers..so I decided to make them available to the public...so hang tight...I am working on this project..which will include hummingbirds, butterfly and birds overlays , bokeh and excellent cloud textures to add into those shots that need a little boost and perhaps some other additional items I am considering...will keep you all posted!!

a couple of Nutmeg Mannikens (yes there are two..) frolicking in the pretty pink sunshine..Huntington Central Park.. Sweet Treat "Marshmellow" Lightroom Preset and "Warm It Up" action normal 50%; Isabelle Lafrance's Soulful Textures "Dashing" overlay 100% and "Carefree" soft light 62%. I was inspired by Kim's image which she posted on Flickr yesterday. She used these two textures and the result was just stunning!

Tuesday

Hello to all..and welcome to my blog..I am a virgin to blogging and am trying to find my way around here..I will be uploading some of my images here as we go along.....If you are interested...I have images for your viewing pleasure on Flickr. I also have images available as fine art cards, prints and canvases on Red Bubble..also coming very soon is my new website at www.gloriousnature.com. Here you can purchase fine art images, canvases and gallery wraps...

My email address is: gr8fl89@aol.com drop me a line here on my new blog..and/or if you are interested in any of my images and would like to buy one perhaps that you see on Flickr but not on my new web site or on red bubble..email me and I will upload it.

Over the last three years, I thoroughly enjoyed taking these pictures and turning them into textures and overlays that you now have the opportunity to add into your own images to create artful creations of your own.

These textures and overlays originate from my fantastic, high-end cameras and lenses...Canon 5D Mark II and Mark III, Canon 1D Mark III and Mark IV......coupled with the best quality Canon glass available today...for example, all of the birds and butterflies were captured using Canon's EF300mm f/2.8L Lens...making these the best quality, highest resolution textures and overlays to date.

You can see some examples of how I have used these very same textures and overlays in my own images...check here on my blog or have a look on my Flickr site

As an added bonus, be sure to open up and read the .pdf file, for tips on how to capture bird pictures......especially the hard-to-nail hummingbirds!
